I chose this restaurant establishment based on the low number, but high ratings.My wife and I sped past the entrance to the parking lot, and had to make a sharp turn into it through the exit because of its location on a busy intersection with NO signage!Regardless, it is a true hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant replete with some kind of mechanic shop in the rear, whereas the restaurant itself was converted from a modest, red home.The dining room is clean and situated on multiple levels due to ongoing remodeling, and there was one very friendly server.They took our lunch orders and proceeded to take more than half an hour to serve us our food...when we were famished.In fact, customers who were sat AFTER us were served before us!I was fuming, but the server provided free of charge excellent chips and salsa (normally they are $5. Make of that what you will...), where the chips are true, fresh, fried hard tortillas.When our entrees arrived - they were beautiful.Seriously, the food was 6 stars.My quesadillas were fresh, with a very pleasant and persistent fresh black pepper on the beef.My wife's flautas were amazing, crispy and fresh.Thus, despite the mistake in submitting our orders - every other metric was so stellar I enthusiasticly rate this as 5 stars and would return as this is the best Mexican food I have had in memory...Vegetarian options: Rice, chips and tortillasDietary restrictions: Salt, grease and sugarParking: Rather small, easy to miss and somewhat dangerous to enterKid-friendliness: Sure, let the roam freeWheelchair accessibility: Roll in like a tostada!

I was there with my husband yesterday and the food was amazing! The service was slow but they gave us the chips and salsa for free, because of that.

This is the place we've been looking for! The beans have FLAVOR, the rice has FLAVOR (and a little heat). The food is fresh and delicious and the people are wonderful. If you want good Mexican food and you like supporting local, family owned and operated business, this is THE SPOT!

They were short staffed. I don’t remember the guys name but he did all the tables by himself and was STILL able to service us perfectly. Super nice guy. Food was AMAZING. Pretty much all I eat is Mexican food and I can confidently say this is the BEST Mexican place in San Marcos.
Fresh chips and tortillas. Excellent wait person

Open sign states 3pm on Sundays. Went in at 2:30 and was denied service, even after saying we would take it to go. If I could give no stars I would.
